"Plant pathology (also phytopathology) is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors)."
Focuses on the study of plant growth, genetics, pests, and diseases.
Plant anatomy: The study of the internal structure of plants.
Plant physiology: The study of how plants function and grow.
Plant biochemistry: The study of the chemical processes occurring in plants at a molecular level.
Plant genetics: The study of the heredity and variation of genes in plants.
Plant pathology: The study of plant diseases and their causes.
Soil science: The study of the properties and processes of soil that affect plants.
Plant ecology: The study of the relationships between plants and their environment.
Plant breeding: The art and science of improving plants through genetic manipulation.
Plant biotechnology: The use of technology to modify and manipulate plants for specific purposes.
Plant nutrition: The study of how plants acquire and use nutrients.
Weed science: The study of the control and management of weeds in agricultural systems.
Plant protection: The study of how to prevent and control pests and diseases in plants.
Crop production: The study of how to grow crops successfully.
Agricultural economics: The study of the economics of agricultural production.
Agroforestry: The integration of trees and crops to improve and sustain agricultural production.
Horticulture: The art and science of growing fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
Plant breeding methodologies: The techniques used in plant breeding to improve yields and quality.
Plant productivity: The study of how to increase crop yields and product quality.
Plant domestication: The process by which cultivated plants have evolved from wild plants.
Plant molecular biology: The study of the structure and function of plant genes and proteins.
Agronomy: Study of plants and soils in relation to crop production and management.
Horticulture: Study of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants in relation to cultivation, management, and design.
Plant Pathology: Study of plant diseases and their control.
Plant Genetics: Study of genetic components in plants, including inheritance and variability.
Soil Science: Study of soil properties, management, and nutrients.
Weed Science: Study of weeds, their ecology, and control.
Entomology: Study of insects and their relation to plants.
Plant Physiology: Study of the physiological processes of plants, including growth, development, and metabolic activities.
Agroforestry: Study of the integration of trees into agricultural systems for optimal productivity and sustainability.
Plant Biotechnology: Application of biotechnology techniques to enhance plant growth, production, and sustainability.
"Organisms that cause infectious disease include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus-like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes, and parasitic plants."
"Not included are ectoparasites like insects, mites, vertebrate, or other pests that affect plant health by eating plant tissues."
"Plant pathology also involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance, how plant diseases affect humans and animals, pathosystem genetics, and management of plant diseases."
